Intro—
Poggi Ugo is one of the most renowned Terracotta companies in Italy. For the 100th anniversary, Poggi Ugo did a site-specific installation called “Land” at Milan Design Week 2019.
The illustrations in the graphics are of the pieces exhibited at the installation. The monotone colors represent terracotta. The illustrations are contemporary in style to add visual symphony with Poggi Ugo’s unique aesthetic.
The brand refresh introduces a new illuminated gradient, and a logo inspired by the new brand typeface, Instagram Sans. IG embraces the soft rounded corners in the glyph “squircle”.
This hero moment is designed to capture the audience and showcase the transition of the infamous glyph. It showcases the breadth of brand expression. Through the years, Instagram has evolved to have a global recognition. It is identified by its glyph- the camera set in the iconic gradient.
